Traditional Context

Litsea cubeba belongs to the Laurel family, related botanically to cinnamon and other fragrant trees.

In traditional Chinese herbal systems, different parts of the plant have historically been used in herbal preparations. The essential oil, distilled from the fruit, has become more widely used in modern aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

Because of its fragrance similarity to Lemon Verbena, it is sometimes called “Chinese Verbena,” although the plants are botanically unrelated.
